It's Christmastime, the news reminds me On the radio But to look outside at passers by You really wouldn't know In some distant sky, Rudolph's flying Bravely through the snow But the skies right here are crystal clear No sign of Rudolph's nose It's Christmas time in Taipei But this town is looking pretty much Like any other day It's Christmastime in Taipei But it seems I'm just a little too far Out of Santa's way Throughout the day the stores all play Familiar Christmas songs And I close my eyes and try to find The heart to sing along But those Christmas carols of Jingle Bells and dashing through the snow They bring memory of family And friends I used to know It's Christmastime in Taipei And I guess I won't be making any angels in the snow In a waking dream, I think I see you Looking back at me As you stand below the mistletoe And you smile tenderly As the vision fades my smile remains And none could ever know That behind this smile a wayward child Is much too far from home It's Christmas time in Taipei But this town is looking pretty much Like any other day It's Christmastime in Taipei But it seems I'm just a little too far Out of Santa's way
